Moshe,

You should call hb_gcAll() from time to time, mainly after doing some work from your EXE, so the garbage collector cleans all the unused memory.

... It doesn't happen every time. It seems that it happens just after using the application few times. That is the reason I was thinking about garbage collector. Thanks, Moshe Yarden

Moises,

We are talking about Windows GDI objects here.

Anyhow, thanks for your info. Though I guess its Harbour responsability to release all created objects from Classes, as a result of its garbage collector activity.

Frank,

Thats a very little memory increase. Its not a problem, as Harbour calls the garbage collector from time to time
